A Song for Ella Grey: now with fantastic illustrations by the

father to the island of Lindisfarne every year ever since she can
remember - it's the place Louise's mother loved best of all. The
arrival of Hassan from war-torn Syria changes everything. Louise is
restless and yearning for independence; meanwhile, the fiercely
free and self-reliant Hassan seems to know the island from long ago
as if it were his home from birth. Hassan is an acrobat, maybe a
sorcerer, possibly a source of great danger. The wild boys who call
the island their home want to cast him out. The forces of love,
death and hope move Louise and Hassan together. Lindisfarne will
change their lives forever. David Almond is the author of many

his wildest dreams came true. But now, the audiences are
smaller, the pianos less grand, and the applause is dying away. So
Bear decides to retire. Back in the woods, he is sad that his
dream is over but he soon has something to distract him: Little
Bear! When Little Bear stumbles upon his piano in the woods, she
can’t believe it when her father says that no one wants to hear
his music anymore. So she comes up with a plan to prove him wrong.
The final book in the award-winning, best-selling trilogy shows

and holding on to - friendship. One bright afternoon, Pip met Egg.
Pip is a seed from a glorious tree, and Egg is a bird's egg from a

size and shape - like two peas in a pod. But as their friendship
grows, so do they - for Pip this means growing roots, but for Egg?
Well, Egg grows wings, and she can't wait to use them. Though Pip
wishes he can follow Egg on her adventures, his roots are strong.
So he watches his friend fly away. But true friends always find
their way back to one another, and there are no truer friends than
Pip and Egg. And if there's one thing they learn, it's that the
circle of life will always lead them back to each other. David

A lavishly illustrated woodland tale with a classic sensibility and
modern flair, from the author of the novel Wicked, which inspired
the hit musical. Gregory Maguire turns his trademark wit and wisdom
to an animal adventure about growing up, moving on and finding
community. When Papa doesn't return from a nocturnal
honey-gathering expedition, Cress holds out hope, but her mother
assumes the worst. It's a dangerous world for rabbits, after all.
Mama moves what's left of the Watercress family to the basement
unit of the Broken Arms, a run-down apartment oak with a suspect
owl landlord, a nosy mouse superintendent, a rowdy family of
squirrels and a pair of songbirds who broadcast everyone's
business. Can a dead tree full of annoying neighbours, and no Papa,
ever be home? In the timeless spirit of E. B. White and The Wind
and the Willows - yet thoroughly of its time - this read-aloud and
read-alone gem for animal lovers of all ages features an
unforgettable cast that leaps off the page in glowing illustrations
by David Litchfield.
